Nokosi was quick to pack his own stuff and clear the table, setting all of his books on the return rack. He slid his backpack over one shoulder and grabbed the uneaten roast pork sandwich she'd purchased for him.

Gliding the chair back in place with a nudge of his foot, he looked to his friend, happily chomping away on the sandwich as he waited for her to gather her things.

When she was ready, he motioned her over with a sharp nod of his head that caused the few earrings he wore to jingle. "Let's go, then. I'm eager to see if that one pet store is open, too. The had a new litter of ferrets last time I went. Not to mention that Husky. It was glorious."
